Vegas Part 3: Positioning

The flight was smooth and Annie and Auggie brainstormed their approach.

"We have to win enough to show we are decent players, but also be willing to lose big," Auggie pointed out.

"I am a decent poker player and I can certainly lose with dignity," Annie smiled.

"You're going to have to be our player, a blind poker player is even funnier than a blind CIA Agent," Auggie grinned.

"I can handle it, you'll have to be my good luck charm," Annie squeezed his forearm on the table between them.

"Gladly. Are you OK with the idea that we may be surveiled in rather intimate settings?" Auggie asked sincerely although a little late as they were almost there.

"Yes, I was thinking it over seriously during the briefing today. I will convince myself it is only audio, which it may be, and get through it. It is a very simple cover to play, loving you – making love to you, is so organic to who I am now, I will put aside the icky thoughts of some Chechen getting off on it to complete the mission."

"Besides, it won't be us it'll be Marvin and Annette. I wonder if they're into anything kinky," Annie chuckled and got up to get a snack from the galley.

The pilot announced their approach into Las Vegas as Annie finished the last of the cheese and grapes and cleaned up their mess. She and Auggie moved from the table to two more comfortable seats where they fastened their seat belts and twined their fingers together for landing.

Once safely on the ground, the pilot came back to the cabin.

"Once this door opens, the mission is live. Good luck," he turned the handle and pushed the door open as a grounds crew member wheeled the staircase over.

Another company man was waiting with the limo and he took the bags from the crew and stowed them. Auggie allowed Annie to slide into the limo first and joined her as the driver closed the door behind him. Annie tucked her arm into Auggie's and watched through her Gucci sunglasses as the desert rolled by.

Check-in went smoothly and Annie ducked off to get some water while Auggie spoke with the manager about use of the hotel vault to stash Annette's "surprise". The manager was more than accommodating considering the Williams were spending $30,000 a night for their room.

"This is lovely," Annie said sincerely as the bellman brought their bags in and their concierge showed them around the room.

They had their own concierge, $30,000 a night bought a lot of luxury and a lot of space. The tour took nearly 30 minutes, Annie thinking that they could put her guest house and Auggie's apartment in here and still have room left over for storage. There were 3 bathrooms, she might never want to leave.

"Honey, the layout is very open," Annie mentioned to Auggie who was holding her elbow and not using his cane at the moment, "some stairs, but you'll have it mastered in no time."

"If there is anything I can do to be of assistance," Jack the concierge offered.

"Thank you Jack, we should be very comfortable here," Annie smiled.

She and Auggie had decided on the flight over that they were going to be nice rich people. They toyed with the idea of playing it snooty, but it wasn't their character and since playing in love was so natural they might as well try to stay as true to Annie and Auggie as they could without being too wide-eyed at the extravagance of it all.

"I shall leave you to rest then after your journey. Your dinner reservation is confirmed for 9:00 pm, let me know if you need anything before then," and with that he was gone and Annie and Auggie were alone in the room.

Annie led Auggie to the bedroom and began unpacking. She tried not to betray her cover as she unpacked the exquisite clothes. Auggie kicked off his shoes and tucked them under the bed before exploring a little more with his cane in hand.

Annie heard the tapping change when he hit the master bathroom.

"This is huge," his voice echoed slightly.

"Mmmmhmm, with both a huge tub and what appears to be a shower large enough for an entire football team," she wrapped her arms around his middle.

"I am now picturing the Giants showering together, thanks honey," he frowned and Annie was impressed he made himself a Giants fan.

"We could both be showering and never bump into each other," she commented as she truly took in the dimensions of the shower-room.

"Now what fun would that be? If I am in the shower with you I want to bump into you repeatedly," he leered and she rolled her eyes at him.

"Are you going to help me unpack or are you just going to plan all the places you plan to bump into me in this suite?'

"I am hurt, I thought you liked it when I bumped into you," he found her in the giant closet hanging up something silky.

"I really do," she agreed and granted him a kiss to assure him.

"We have a couple of hours until dinner," he pointed out as he masterfully unwrapped her wrap dress.

She untangled her arms from around his neck long enough to let the dress slip off completely. His hands found their way along the lace edges of her luxury lingerie.

"Nice," he hummed as he slipped the silk strap off her shoulder.

While enjoying the ministrations of Auggie's lips and tongue Annie slipped her encrypted phone from its spot in her stocking and dropped to her knees to finagle Auggie's out of his sock as well. His brief case was right there so she placed them inside causally and dropped the lid closed, hopefully the closet will not have a camera in it.

"I don't think the first place we should have sex in this lovely room should be the closet honey," Annie tried to get his attention long enough to relocate.

"We're in a closet," his sense coming back to him.

"I can understand your confusion it is as big as most people's bedroom," she chuckled and dragged him to the bed.

Although they had not revealed themselves to the Chechens yet there was still a chance the suite was constantly bugged in pursuit of potential marks for their big game. Annie had already planned to use terms of endearment and when in doubt throw God in there in bed, she couldn't imagine herself calling Auggie Marvin while they were naked.

It turned out not to be too hard as he quickly had her calling on God.

"That was fun," Annie laughed, breathless as she rolled onto her back, keeping one hand entwined with Auggie's.

"Vacation is off to an amazing start," he smiled, breathless himself.

Annie had imagined that being on a mission would boost Auggie's adrenaline, but if the past 30 minutes were any indication this was going to be even more fun than she imagined. Considering Annie had no complaints when it came to sleeping with Auggie she was in for quite a treat.

"Sure, I can't talk you in to room service tonight," he began with their clasped hands and kissed his way along her arm until he reached her neck where he scraped his teeth just enough to make her shiver under him.

"Jack made us a reservation and so far all we've explored of the hotel is the bed," Annie stuttered a little when his tongue followed his teeth.

She knew he was just teasing her and he knew they had to make a public appearance, but he was playing his cover exceptionally well and she was very close to putting the Do Not Disturb sign on the door and starting the mission tomorrow.

"Don't forget the closet, we explored the closet too," he smiled against her skin.

"We could explore the shower a little bit more, I think we both need one now," she offered a compromise and crawled over him to head for the bathroom.
